⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING FOR DOUBLE REPLACEMENT AND CHASSIS WEIGHT:
- Replace as a Pair: The transmission mounts of the 5 Series (E39) vehicles are much larger and heavier. When one of the two mounts holding the transmission from below breaks, the rubber veins in the other one are also damaged. Replacing only the broken side with a new BMW E39 Transmission Mount will disturb the balance of that heavy transmission and will tear the new part immediately. Definitely renew as a complete set (2 pieces) for both left and right.
- Driveshaft Joint Danger: When your transmission mounts are broken and you put the vehicle in D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position, the transmission drops suddenly. This sagging disturbs the angle of E39's long driveshaft and can quickly break the driveshaft joint, leaving you stranded.
Specially produced for the legendary 5 Series E39 vehicles that set the standards for BMW's official cars, the KAUTEK brand BMW E39 Transmission Mount is now available! In E39's famous insulated and comfortable cabin, these rubber mounts absorb all the stress and vibrations of the massive transmission. An old BMW E39 Transmission Mount that has hardened and broken due to years of wear and the engine's hellish heat causes the transmission to hit the chassis (crossmember) and results in shaking of the seats and steering wheel while waiting at traffic lights in D (Drive) position. Additionally, due to the sagging transmission, gear shifts become jarring and the car loses that legendary gliding feeling. To protect your vehicle's drivetrain from this dangerous shaking and to restore the comfort of an official vehicle, you can reset your suspension with this brand new BMW E39 Transmission Mount produced with superior KAUTEK quality. This BMW E39 Transmission Mount, manufactured to fit the original chassis holes perfectly, stabilizes your heavy transmission while absorbing all vibrations.
- Smooth Gear Shifts: Prevents the sagging of the transmission, ensuring the automatic or manual gear mechanism operates at the correct angle. A brand new BMW E39 Transmission Mount instantly alleviates jarring gear issues.
- Premium Cabin Acoustics: Completely eliminates the annoying hum you feel inside the cabin while idling or waiting at traffic lights, as well as the vibrations in the steering wheel and seats.
- KAUTEK Rubber Quality: Vulcanized from rubber with high thermal and mechanical resistance to carry the heavy load of E39's transmission, meeting automotive standards.
- Driveshaft and Axle Protection: Keeps the transmission in its original alignment, preventing unnecessary strain on the driveshaft couplings and the lower driveshaft joint that transmits power to the rear wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
My car shakes while idling in automatic mode at traffic lights. Can I solve the problem by just buying this BMW E39 Transmission Mount? If vibrations are coming into the cabin while waiting in D (Drive) position in a vehicle with high insulation like the E39, the problem is 90% likely due to broken engine mounts or transmission mounts. When the transmission mounts break, vibrations are transmitted directly to the chassis. When you lift the vehicle and have the mounts checked, you will see that they are broken or softened. Replacing these parts will significantly reduce the vibrations.
How many of this product should I order for my vehicle? Are the left and right different? There are 2 mounts on the transmission crossmember of BMW E39 vehicles, one for the right and one for the left. These mounts are identical for both sides; there is no left or right. To maintain the balance of that heavy transmission and to complete the installation in one go, we strongly recommend adding 2 BMW E39 Transmission Mounts to your cart to renew both sides at the same time.
